McEntee departs Longford role before starting in earnest
Andy McEntee this evening sensationally stepped down as Longford senior football manager, just weeks after being appointed to the position. Leaving the midlands county behind the 8-ball with a view to getting systems in place for the 2027 season as the midway point of November is just upon us. Something underlined by the fact that…

Ireland go surprisingly strong for RUN out against Fiji
Ireland Rugby Coach Andy Farrell has named a surprisingly strong starting 15 for tonight’s (Saturday) Nations Championship encounter against Fiji at the Aviva Stadium.

The manager, the billionaires and the racehorse
I never thought something so obscure from the rudiments of daily life would have such an effect on me. But here we are. So agitating has it been, in fact, that one shudders to think what the effect would be if the issue pertained to certain GAA teams and/or entities in the realm of horse…

Tara do enough sporadically to seal final spot
TARA…1-12 AN TUAISCEART…0-13 If one was to try and define Tara’s performance in qualifying for the final of the 2026 Brady’s Automotive Regional Football Championship, it might be best to deploy one of my late father’s beloved quips – “Like the Curate’s egg – good in spots”!

Bell tolls for Moyfenragh men as Boyne make another Final
BOYNE VALLEY…2-12 MOYFENRAGH…0-12 It doesn’t happen too often but it is nice when judgments arrived at through the one seeing eye here get vindicated. In the case you will read hereafter, the class of David Bell as a footballer and why the St Colmcille’s clubman is worthy of a call up to the Meath senior…
